And this is why you have a hard time selling atheists here on moral realism.
Try and rewrite that with less jargon, and in away more relatable and applicable to the real world. Find a way to express that simply. Use rob's moral subjectivism as an example.
I don't, actually..but I'm not selling it so it wouldn't matter if I did. Most of the time they just find it unimpressive and not at all what they were expecting. I get that, particularly in the context of the believing lots constant shitposting about what they mistakenly refer to as objectivity. You're the one who needs it for some other batshit reason you refuse to articulate, remember?
-and it still has nothing to do with gods.

Thanks. So you're not a theist (someone who believes a god or God is actually real)? To be clear, as an atheist I have no problem agreeing that God is a belief.
Nor do I, as an atheist, have a problem with the belief that life signifies something.
